Those are the physical pains I've experienced. <BR/> The metaphorical ones were longer lasting and noticeably more intense. I'd have to say the more damaging ones are the self-inflicted ones. They're the ones that the emergency room staff and the rest of the medical professionals can't identify and fix.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23119886.post-1141085744374731132006-02-27T16:15:00.000-08:002006-02-27T16:15:00.000-08:00My morning alarm is the tight pain in my jaw. All ...My morning alarm is the tight pain in my jaw. All the muscles up and down the side of my head get together during my sleep and play a game called "squeeze till it aches."<BR/><BR/>My hips ache every morning as well. This pain is more like heat, burning. At times, when I've been walking several hours, my hips feel like I'm stabbing them with a knife that was held in a forge for a while. But the morning pain is merely annoying, a reminder to get up and move.<BR/><BR/>When the knobby, arthritic joints in my hands start to hurt the pain is a sharp breaking sensation when I force the joint to bend.<BR/><BR/>I haven't had many episodes of overwhelming pain, the kind that stops you in your tracks and brings you to your knees. A wonderful realization that makes me give thanks for minor pain.Web Teacherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06166585586182225295noreply@blogger.com
